I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS

Thinking of using NixOS for my work machine as well, however I don’t want to use hyprland or even Wayland as I need this machine to be stable and reliable (Nvidia GPU)

Is I3 still the best option for this or are there better alternatives? (leaning towards I3 ontop of KDE)

I’m also somewhat tempted to just go GNOME with the forge extension as it seems the most reliable, though the tiling on that extension is far from perfect

    I3 is a hybrid wm, there’s a shortcut to change between vertical and horizontal splits.

    I find that approach much better than having to cycle through a bunch of presets to get a configuration I want.

    On top of that tabbing/stacking tiles is amazing for keeping everything organised in more complex configurations.
